Wabash High School

Wabash made the long trip to Bluffton Monday night for the first dual meet of the season. Bluffton has a strong team this year, and Wabash fell 0-5. Alexa Johnson, playing at 1 singles, fell 0-6, 1-6. Her scores don’t reflect how close her match was, going into deuce multiple games. 2 singles player Hadley Schuler had her work cut out for her, and lost to a solid player 1-6, 1-6. Emma Weaver (3 singles) played the best match of her career, but eventually fell 4-6, 2-6. Abbi Hipskind and Maddie Von Uhl teamed up at 1 doubles, playing together for just the second time this season. Abbi and Maddie fell 1-6, 1-6, as they are still learning each other’s style of play. The 2 doubles team of Bridget Bailey and Emma Adams started off strong, but couldn’t pull out a victory. Their scores were 4-6, 0-6. The most exciting match of the night came from JV 1 singles player Sophie France. After a long battle back and forth, Sophie won in a tiebreaker! The final score of that match was 8-7 (3). Amanda Alspach (JV 2 singles) also came out with a victory, with a score of 8-3. Sophie and Amanda also teamed up to play in a doubles match, but Bluffton’s senior duo was too much for Wabash’s freshmen duo. Wabash fell 2-8. Wabash plays in their first home match Tuesday at 5PM vs. Mississinewa.
